SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:

A very cool soundtrack this is.

The album to Steven Soderbergh’s final entry of his heist trilogy characterizes what cool music is about. Composer David Holmes gives us 44 minutes of stylishly energetic music typified by synthesizers, electric guitars and drum beats. The Belfast-born Holmes worked in a club as a DJ when he was 15 – No wonder the man is able to produce such enjoyably hypnotizing funk music.

After winning the BMI Film and Music Awards for both his scores for Ocean’s Eleven (2001) and Ocean’s Twelve (2002), Homes is back with another too-cool-for-mere-mortals soundtrack that will swing you off balance.

Tracks like “11, 12 & 13”, “Benedict Returns” and “Trapdoor Man” are cues that made you wish that you were as suave and smooth like the leading men of the movie. When the cool-meter hits its highest in “Dice Men”, it sends you into ecstasy mode.

Elsewhere, expect similarly swanky score material worthy to be played at all late night parties. There is the mysterious swing-alicious “The Nose” and the psychedelic “Fender Roads”. There are no soft and lyrical moments in this techno-groovy soundtrack.

And the producers are not apologetic about it.

Included in the album are also hip tunes like Frank Sinatra’s cover of Lee Hazlewood’s “This Town” and The Motherhood’s “Soul Town”. The blasting trumpets and snazzy trombones are accompanied by flamboyant percussions which will have you swing your hips to the flashily bright jazz music.

What this reviewer needs now is one of those cool tuxedos, and probably a good looking enough stature to go with it.
